The other weekend, Ross and I picked out the letter "P" for another adventure into our meals around the world challenge. We instantly knew we would try Fire + Feather, a Portuguese restaurant, because it's located just blocks from us.

Since we pass by the resto on our way home frequently, I knew I loved the loft-like decor. Additionally, I knew the menu wasn't entirely veggie-friendly; however, I also knew Ross would enjoy the piri piri-style chicken {piri piri is a hot sauce, and yes, it's fire-breathing hot}. Regardless, we tried it. And we really liked it.

For the record, I managed to find a lot of bread and cheese to eat {of course!} and maybe some potatoes {I really need to give up this starch}. Just take a look...

Can you guess who ordered which dish? Can you also guess who had most of those fries {oops- chips} below?

During the meal, I learned that cheese is often served as dessert. So we gave it a go {when in Rome, right?}. It was delicious {minus the foul-smelling-I-just-ran-20-miles-and-didn't-wash-my-ratty-socks blue cheese}, but it felt wrong having the cheese platter for dessert. I'm a cheese-as-an-app kind of girl!

So, would we come back? Surprisingly, for there not being an extensive veg-friendly menu, I would come back with friends. The salad, cheese, and fries {AND chicken, says Ross + Angel, who wishes she could be the third wheel on our dinner dates!} are worth a second try!
